Got mine installed at TT (Vic) $350 i think, with alignment (shocks/springs/camber kits front+rear) + plus fiddling with the adj swaybars i had in there.

Very reasonable price i thought.

Sydneykid, can you please have a look at my PM...there seems to be a problem with my order.

[SHANE666]

sydney kiPM sent re caster bushes.

[Wacky Dee]

sent PM 7 days ago with a reminder 4 days ago .. just needed to confirm the order amount as I'm not getting everything from the kit. This is pretty fricken appalling service I must say.

If it takes more than 7 days just to get a "this is how much you need to pay ..etc" how long does it take to receive the item? I don't want to pay close to $1500 to then have to chase it up for weeks like someone's doing me a favour taking $1500 off me.

Re installation costs ... I've been quoted $550-650 by the 2 NSW places (heasmans and east coast) so a fair bit pricier than the vic joint.

SK gets dozens of PM's, EVERY DAY, 50+ possibly, most of it probably doesn't even pertain to group buys.... he doesn't make money off these kits and basically has offered, free, damn right impressive, advice on these forums for years. The closest thing we have to gospel around here.

Please be patient, he or matt (i think is the other guy) will get to the PM.

Centreline in Vic quoted $500, and that was a "special" price for me! Centreline sponsor SAU Vic, of which i'm a paid member (10% discount i believe) AND i also had a 20% discount voucher ONTOP of my membership. Best price? $500

Traction Tyres do great work, 2 guys working on it, multiple test drives of the car, adjusted my sway bars for me as well. But for those comparing i ONLY had shocks, springs, and front/frear camber kits installed. If you're getting higher quotes, it could be because you have more stuff being done.

Once parts are sent, Toll priority are very quick.

I personally recommend East Coat Suspension in Kirrawee NSW.

Very good service. And decent prices.

[Wacky Dee]

hey guys, I paid for my package 10 days ago any chance of getting an ETA of some sort ? Cheers

If anyone here has got the sway bars on coilovers could they please let me know there results. Also interested if people feel happy with castor rods?

Cheers,

[SS8_Gohan]

i have front/rear adj bars and springs/shocks if that's what you mean by coilovers?

[DECIM8]

Lol not exactly.. Coilovers as in coilovers.. adjustable height and dampening rates etc.. As they are alittle harder than the springs im interested if big differences are noted. Im assuming they would be.

How do you find the adjustable bars with your setup then? Is it stockers or sydney kids setup?

Cheers

i did SK's kit in stages.

bars first, big difference, noticeably flatter cornering

springs/shocks second, bigger difference again, car felt more planted, more stable, and cornering was even better again. Camber kits installed and setup to SK specs.

bilstein/whiteline ride is fairly firm, but felt great at Sandown...

all the damper adjustable stuff can be a bit of a wank really. Just get adjustable sway bars, that's what matters more.

what coilovers you looking at?

[DECIM8]

Ive had greaddy type s (best in japan supposedly) extremely soft which is nice however looking for more handling performance

So sways it is.. Any difference in feedback or rough feel?

Cheers
